Chapter 71: Ghost Baby

  The autumn night in Beilong City was a bit cool, but Liu Yi's heart was burning with passion.

  Although I'm only wearing a shirt and a suit, I don't feel cold at all. It seems that there's also some kind of inner energy protecting my body.

  Liu Yi slid along the rooftop, facing a dilapidated factory that lay quietly in darkness.

  "As expected, there's some eerie aura..."

  The little fox embracing Liu Yi's neck noticed the dark clouds looming above the factory and couldn't help but say, "Liu Yi, go downstairs now. Everything must be done with caution from now on. You're going out on a mission for the first time, don't be reckless. Even if you can't complete it, you have to come back alive, did you hear me?"

  "Don't worry, Fox Fairy Sister, now that I have the Spiritual Fox Steps, even if there's real danger, I can still run away!"

  Liu Yi said.

  "Uh, don't force it, go."

  Lin Tong nodded.

  Liu Yi took a deep breath and then jumped down from this building of over ten stories.

  He fell towards the ground like a bullet, with the whistling wind rushing past his ears.

  Liu Yi's heartbeat slightly accelerated, the two methods in his body operated simultaneously, keeping his mind clear and his entire being full of a sense of power.

  As he fell halfway down, his body suddenly flipped over, with both hands and feet pointing towards the ground, and the power of the Nine Xuan Heart Sutra burst out.

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

  A few faint booms.

  Liu Yi's hands burst out with the most ferocious frost.

  One by one, white frosty lights burst open in the air and then transformed into snowflakes drifting down.

  Liu Yi borrowed such power, constantly impacting the air, reducing his falling speed.

  When he was close to the ground, his body had already fallen very slowly.

  Liu Yi put his hands behind him and sprayed a burst of frost.

  The whole person suddenly fell to the ground, stepped on the ice knife, and slid forward.

  With the help of this forward momentum, Liu Yi fell to the ground and quickly slid out very far, then his legs agilely spun around in a circle, and finally came to a stop.

  "Hmm...".

  Liu Yi took a few deep breaths, her heart still racing and yet to calm down.

  It's really too stimulating.

  This power is simply too overwhelming!

  "Stop spacing out, there's something eerie about this place. Let's hurry up and finish searching, take some photos and head home!"

  Lin Tong reminded.

  "Hmm..."

  Liu Yi nodded and took two deep breaths, adjusting his state.

  He took advantage of the darkness, put away his ice knife, stepped in a spiritual fox step, made himself light as a swallow, and quietly walked along the edge of the factory.

  This old abandoned factory looks like it's been around for some years, with mottled marks all over the walls.

  Moreover, a musty smell wafted through the factory, causing Liu Yi to cover his nose.

  Is there really anyone in such a place?

  That great god is also good at finding places where people gather.

  Liu Yi shook his head and found the factory's open gate, lifted his foot and walked in.

  At this moment, he suddenly felt his whole body lighten up.

  A black tentacle suddenly flew down from above the factory gate and wrapped itself around Liu Yi's legs, suspending him in mid-air.

  "Idiot! Idiot idiot idiot!"

  Lin Tong couldn't help but scold, "You actually stepped on the trap! You big idiot!"

  "How am I supposed to know..."

  Liu Yi's legs were tightly wrapped by the tentacles, and he fell down at the factory gate. Due to the backflow of blood, his head was slightly dizzy, and he said gloomily, "I didn't know there would be a trap..."

  "Idiot, I told you to be careful! Hurry up and get out of this trap, or else we'll be discovered soon!"

  "Oh..."

  Liu Yi took a deep breath and lifted his body up, grabbing the tentacles wrapped around his ankles with both hands.

  The aura of mystic ice is activated, and each touch instantly freezes into an ice sculpture, then shatters.

  But before Liu Yi could catch his breath, another batch of vines grew out and wrapped around his feet, this time even his wrists were not spared, all entwined together, wrapping Liu Yi up tightly.

  "What the grass...... Don't play with people like this......"

  Liu Yi wanted to cry but had no tears.

  "I've never seen anyone dumber than you in my entire life..."

  Lin Tong's hair all stood up.

  "What should I do now......"

  Liu Yi couldn't help but ask with a bitter face.

  "I don't know, just wait for death!"

  Lin Tong said with an air of discontent.

  At this time, Liu Yi felt that there were a few breaths slowly approaching in the factory.

  "Trouble... it seems like someone is coming."

  "Hmm, now let's see what you'll do..."

  Lin Tong cursed with his mouth, but in his mind he was quickly thinking of how to get out of this trap.

  Just then, a woman's voice suddenly rang out.

  "Watch your head."

  Then, a black shadow wave flew past Liu Yi's face.

  All of its tentacles were cut off cleanly.

  Liu Yi suddenly fell to the ground with a thud.

  And those hands emerged again, trying to grab Liu Yi once more.

  But Liu Yi won't fall into the trap this time, he suddenly clapped his hands on the ground and slid out a long distance with his whole body stuck to the ground, avoiding the range of the tentacles.

  Liu Yi struggled to get up from the ground, and it was only then that he discovered a woman in a black windbreaker standing beside him on the ground.

  The woman had no means of concealment, and her perfect face was dazzling in the moonlight.

  This woman is beautiful but somewhat cold and stern, like an iceberg standing there.

  Liu Yi felt that his own Xuan Bing's aura was already cold enough, but compared to this woman... it differed by a lot.

  The woman's figure seemed pretty good too, although it was hard to see clearly under the black windbreaker, but a pair of slender legs were enough to prove everything.

  Liu Yi looked at the woman under the moonlight and was momentarily stunned.

  "It seems I made a mistake... This should be a D-rank mission."

  The woman had her hands thrust into the pockets of her windbreaker, looking cool and detached, with a hint of chill in her voice.

  At this time, her gaze finally fell on Liu Yi who was standing aside.

  "Your... attire is quite unique..."

  She looked at Liu Yi's red scarf with a hint of meaning.

  "Cough...cough...thank you for saving me, miss..."

  Liu Yi hastily got up.

  "Are you just another person who takes on tasks?"

  He suddenly remembered that someone had taken this task with him.

  "It was me... I also posted the task."

  The beautiful iceberg woman said faintly, "I thought it was just a casual small thing, and no one received it after posting for a long time, so I took it myself."

  "This... isn't supposed to happen!"

  Liu Yi couldn't help but say, "I also accepted the task, okay?! One thousand yuan! One thousand yuan..."

  "You're too weak, this isn't a task you should be completing."

  The beautiful iceberg woman just said lightly.

  "This is hard to say! Moreover, I have accepted the task, and I must complete it! This is a matter of credibility!"

  Liu Yi said, patted the dust on his body, and stood up.

  "And this is my first mission, only victory is allowed, no defeat!"

  "Oh?"

  The beauty of the iceberg couldn't help but take another look at Liu Yi.

  "This might be a D-level mission... for just 1,000 bucks, are you gonna risk your life?"

  "A thousand bucks may mean nothing to you, but it's a big deal for me!"

  "And if I back down now, then maybe next time I won't dare take on a mission. I... have to see it through."

  Actually, Liu Yi didn't say anything, mainly because he was too embarrassed by this trap...

  Girl, you must get the scene back.

  Liu Yi clenched his fists after making up his mind.

  "Interesting..."

  The beauty of the iceberg smiled and said, "How about this? I'll help you complete this task together. The reward for success will be yours, what do you say?"

  "Really?"

  Liu Yi did not expect such a good thing to happen to him.

  "I, Li Bih-yueh, never cheat people."

  The iceberg beauty said faintly, "Believe it or not."

  "Alright then, it's settled!"

  It's even better if someone helps you make money.

  This task seems a bit difficult, Liu Yi naturally wouldn't mind if someone lent a hand.

  "They have someone coming."

  Li Bih-yueh said, her eyes gazing in the direction of the factory, "The mission content has changed... Help me eliminate these Heavenly Master Sect people, and it will be considered a completed task."

  "Huh?"

  Liu Yi was dumbfounded.

  "Kill, kill people?"

  "They are not good people."

  Li Bih-yueh said, "If you don't kill them, they will kill you."

  As they spoke, a shrill cry suddenly came from the black-painted big gate of the factory.

  "Ahhhhh!"

  The sound was terrifying and piercing, causing Liu Yi to cover his ears involuntarily.

  Right after that, a black shadow slowly walked out of the factory gate.

  "Who dares to trespass on our Da Sheng Jiao's territory... leave your life behind."

  The man was wrapped in black clothes all over his body, with a white mask on his face.

  But unlike Liu Yi's mask, the person opposite had two rows of red blood-tear patterns hanging under their mask's eyes.

  His whole body was shrouded in an unnatural aura, very eerie.

  "It wasn't evil spirit after all..."

  From the moment Li Bimonth appeared, Lin Tong had been hiding in Liu Yi's body and exclaimed at this time.

  "It's eerie..."

  Liu Yi's gaze fell on the man's shoulder.

  All he saw was a small infant about the size of his palm sitting on his shoulder.

  Said to be an infant, but it looks extremely ferocious.

  His face was twisted beyond recognition, his face covered in blood vessels, and his eyes bulged out, making Liu Yi feel a little terrified.

  "Ghost Baby..."

  Lin Tang exclaimed again, "It's actually a ghost baby!"

  "What's wrong?"

  Liu Yi doesn't understand any of these things.

  "Ghost shadow is a kind of evil magic made by pinching newborn babies to death... and then refining them..."

  Lin Tong's voice trembled slightly as he spoke, "This evil magic... should have been banned long ago... how could it still appear?!"

  "Who would have thought there was such magic..."

  Liu Yi heard this and suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, his fists clenched with a cracking sound.

  He remembered a news story from before about a car thief who stole a car and then smothered the infant inside to death in the snow.

  People like this should be killed!
